Discipleship Pathway

Jesus commands his followers to make disciples. This Discipleship Pathway serves as a clear and easy-to-follow guide that helps us do this in everyday life. We want to make disciples who worship with authenticity, walk in community, and witness as we go.

WORSHIP

Gather for Worship
Join a Serve Team
Practice Biblical Stewardship

Authentic worship is an expression of gratitude to God. Disciples evidence this by consistently gathering with God’s people, serving in the church, and organizing our personal finances to fund kingdom work.

WALK

Join a Community Group

Disciples grow in their faith over time as they learn to walk with Jesus. Our context for this is Community Groups where we learn, serve, and do life together.

WITNESS

Engage with Non-Christians
Participate in Serve:Jax

Every disciple can be an effective witness for Christ. We share the good news of Jesus by building relationships and serving the needs of our city by partnering with local mission organizations.
